Read: Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first commandment. Matthew 22:37-38
Reflect: Living in the Cardinal Virtue of Prudence. Prudence is the foundation of wisdom where we think wisely and are able to discern good. When we cling to God, whose nature is wisdom, we are led to love, joy and peace. This participation in directing our will and desire toward good, helps us see and cooperate in God’s grace. When we live in this flow, we bring the peace, joy and love in our hearts to those we encounter in our lives.
Love begins at home, and it is not how much we do, but how much love we put into the action that we do. If you want to bring happiness into the world, go home and love your family.
St. Teresa of Calcutta
Respond: Lord, help me be prudent and give thought to every step I take.
